Moved from Endgame reckoner
Question: is the eye-protecting tesuji[1][2]. Gote for Black. White can follow up with the sente exchange a for b. I'm estimating this as 5 points in gote. Help?
Charles That's not the correct sequence: this is gote for White and gives away two extra points.
This choice of may be worse shape (empty triangle) abstractly speaking: but this is correct endgame play under normal conditions.

See for example protecting the cut - example 1, protecting the cut - example 2.

Maybe here the eye-protecting zokusuji. ;-)
